Interoperability Demonstration at HIMSS, April 4-8 2009

OASIS XSPA TC Members and other Interested OASIS Members;

OASIS, in collaboration with HITSP would like to present the following opportunity to our XSPA TC members to participate in an InterOp Demo at HIMSS 2009: http://www.himssconference.org/?src="hhpglb&cof=u.

For those of you not familiar with the HIMMS event, HIMMS/IHE has a special area called the Interoperability Showcase, http://www.Interoperabilityshowcase.org/.

There are two options for participation and we will depend on the participants to decide upon the appropriate option. Please review the two options below and send us your comments and/or commitment.

The goal is to demonstrate the XSPA profile based on HITSP TP 20. TP 20 can be found at: http://www.hitsp.org/ConstructSet_Details.aspx?&PrefixAlpha=2&PrefixNumeric=20

There are efforts currently underway in XACML, SSTC and WS-SX in support of this effort. If you received this e-mail because you are a member in one of these TCs you are encouraged to join the Cross-enterprise Security and Privacy Authorization (XSPA) TC and participate in this important event.

Based on the requirement of early registration at HIMSS we have to get your commitment prior to Sept. 30.

Regards, Dee Schur and Jane Harnad
